Such is the surge in interest in development opportunities in Barking and Dagenham, London, that a group of private-sector investors in the borough attended MIPIM as a group for the first time, brought together by the regeneration and investment magazine BOLD.

"Countryside is proud to support the Barking and Dagenham group at MIPIM 2015," said business development director Michael Hill. "We wish them well on this key international stage to get the message across to promote the borough for further investment."

Willmott Dixon Construction managing director Chris Tredget added: "Barking and Dagenham is a diverse community and has excellent communication links making it a great place for future investment. We at Willmott Dixon want to support the Barking and Dagenham group in their trip to MIPIM as they seek relationships and investments that will support sustained growth in the area. The new leisure centre we are building is part of the attractive offering which is a fantastic catalyst in the local community and for further outside investment."
